Who
we are
We started with one goal, and it hasn’t changed: to change the culture of fast food.
Our story
THISBOWL was founded in Australia in 2016 out of one, tiny 280 sq ft store in Bondi Beach, Sydney.
The goal was simple: Change the culture of fast food. We were three students in our last year at uni – 23 years old and hungry for something better to eat when we were together at the beach.
We couldn’t find anything that was fresh, tasty, healthy, and affordable, so we decided to take the leap and create the dream ourselves.
Fast forward, and we now have 60+ restaurants across Australia and more recently, NYC.
But one thing is the same – we’re still dreaming about all the ways to make real food you’re excited to eat.
Changing fast food
Our mission is to change the culture of fast food by shifting the idea that fast, accessible and affordable food comes at the expense of taste, nutrition, or authenticity.
The result? THISBOWL. The sum of everything we love and believe in, combining our passion for food, design, music, art, movement, and community.
Our
Values
ACT WITH INTENTION
Every decision is deliberate, thoughtful, and true to who we are.
We think before we act. Our menu isn’t a coincidence, our atmosphere isn’t an afterthought, our aesthetic isn’t an accident. We believe that every action should be on purpose, with purpose.
FIND GREATNESS IN THE DETAILS
Quality is a sum of the small things.
We’re a little obsessed with attention to detail. In an industry that often trades craft for convenience, we choose the path of precision. The little things aren’t little, and that’s what makes our recipe unique.
MIX IN THE MAGIC
We believe food should be a human experience.
We’re a blend of passionate personalities, places, tastes, and talents. The magic lies in the warmth, care, and style each of us brings to serving a bowl.
CREATE A CANVAS FOR COMMUNITY
It starts with shared passion and grows when people join together.
Some of our communities are local, rooted in the neighborhoods around us. Others live within our own walls, as the vibrant subcultures of our team. We all play a role in shaping culture with the energy we bring and the interactions we create.
BUILD A CULTURE OF CHANGE
Impact is built on the choices we make every day.
We believe in making a positive impact through the way we work, eat, and live. And that’s an everyday effort. We’re not perfect, but we’re bold enough to try. Sometimes we’ll get it wrong – and when we do, we’ll work to make it right.
